Very important to succeed is the right selection of patients suitable for this treatment.

I hasten to start the article having in mind that Acne vulgaris is not an infectious disease. However, the choice for antibiotics as treatment agents is among the leaders of many dermatologists in more severe forms of the disease. I have prescribed antibiotics to no more than five people and my experience is not entirely positive. Usually when the course is stopped, the acne recurs. The drugs used are from the group of tetracycline and macrolide antibiotics.
